One of the coolest things about the Hebrew language is that every letter has meaning. The words themselves are the descriptors. Look up the word "Love" in the English dictionary and you will find something similar to this: "a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties maternal love for a child ( 2 ) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers After all these years, they are still very much in love .

Ahavah Farm is a Values-Centered-Farm and This is Our Pledge to You! Go to www.ahavahfarm.com to learn more about our farm and how you can be a part of it! Farming is so much more than just growing calories. For us, it's about growing absolutely pure. About repairing our earth and caring for our resources. It is about putting love into our food, our employees, our animals and our community. Take a few minutes to read our public pledge here, leave a comment and be an active part in Ahavah (Love) to make a difference. ü We pledge to never compromise on the purity of our food. This includes the use of any chemicals or anything synthetic (even if it is certified “Organic”). ü We pledge to use microbiology, composts, green manures (plant residue) and other organic matter to build and sustain healthy soils. ü We pledge to use beneficial insects to control pests and to increase the bio-diversity on our farm. ü
